Description
Aimed at architecture students and professionals, BAWA Staircases offers the reader a primer on how staircases are often the most dynamic and theatrical spatial elements of a building or landscape. It is a compelling addition to the literature on Sri Lanka’s preeminent architect, Geoffrey Bawa, and showcases his numerous and varied architectural and landscape designs for residential, public works, gardens, and hotel architecture, with particular reference to the staircases he created.
Throughout the book, lush photography by Sebastian Posingis and insightful texts by David Robson are accompanied by contextual shots, plans, and illustrations. These elements together illustrate this absorbing island and the work of an architectural master.
